I don't get the comparison to webOS. Pantech isn't trying to create their own platform like Palm was.

Pantech is just trying to create decent, affordable phones that fill gaps in AT&T's lineup. I'm not sure they're even aiming for "awe-inspiring or memorable." That's not necessarily the point. Apple can make those. Someone needs to make the rest, and there's money to be made there, too.

I'm inclined to agree with "rich brome". I don't think that anyone ever made the arguement that Pantech set out to overtake the mobile OS world. It seems like they are just going after AT&T customers who need an affordable, yet somewhat reliable device just for basic phone use. Its not my cup of tea, but hey, someone will buy it.

If they make a version of this phone with no slide out keyboard, 3.5 headset jack, FM radio ( HD radio would be nice) a slightly better camera with flash. I would buy it. We don't all need smart phones
